Employees are key to success

Your company’s journey toward high impact corporate community involvement is either propelled or paralyzed by employees. What does it take to get an entire employee team on board? Are there best practices or practical steps that can garner employee engagement as your business works for real and long-term social impacts?

You bet.

Join us on September 19, 2013 for a live webinar brought to you by VeraWorks. Bea Boccalandro, a thought leader in the field of corporate community involvement, is a great friend of ours and she has organized this outstanding webinar series. The webinar series will guide you through the steps of designing and implementing a high impact corporate community involvement program with measurable business and societal outcomes. You can find out more here.

Motivating employees to participate

Let’s face it, your employees can volunteer anywhere and they can donate to their favorite charity any time. After giving 40-60 hours at work, why would they give even more of themselves to the company through volunteering? What is the unique value they receive when they choose to volunteer or give through the company?

These are just some of the questions we’ll explore and answer during the webinar. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to design a program that meets your employees at theirhighest level of contribution.

We’ll utilized some of the groundbreaking research by Adam Grant, Jane Dutton, and Brent Rosso, “Giving Commitment: Employee Support Programs and the Prosocial Sensemaking Process“. We’ll explore the employee/company relationship and the affective commitment that can be created through corporate community involvement programs. I will also explain how giving and volunteering strengthens employee commitment by enabling employees to interpret company actions in caring, prosocial terms. Read the article here.
